Two Views of Reality

“The very fact that we think we think and see a world is saying there is a reality outside of God,” Devorah continued. “To get through the process of shifting from the Scrolls to the Covenant, it is essential to cultivate a relationship with some non-ego thought, some sense of a spiritual presence in your life, a reassuring thought and feeling experience that says: ‘yes, you will experience resistance, sometimes fierce resistance, and the shifting will be difficult but as you go you will feel the difference and ultimately everything will be alright.’ This is relying on yourSelf instead of yourself.

“In addition to helping cope with the difficulty of shifting, this inner relationship with yourSelf is essential because the world is a shared illusion. That is, you are not alone here. Everyone agrees that the world is real. But the fact that everyone agrees and shares the same illusion does not make it real.”
